- Specifically designed for use on upper premolars (bicuspids)
Uses
- Upper Premolar Extraction:
- Formed specifically to fit the distinct root and crown anatomy of maxillary first and second bicuspids
- Deep Subgingival Access:
- Allows oral surgeons and general dentists to safely reach down into the tooth socket to grasp roots that have broken off at or below the gumline
- Atraumatic Tooth Elevation:
- Used to firmly engage, luxate (loosen), and deliver upper premolars while minimizing damage to the surrounding bone and soft tissue
Features
- Tapered & Serrated Beaks:
- The beaks are anatomically contoured and slimmed down to penetrate deeper into the periodontal ligament space. Internal micro-serrations optimize the tooth-to-forceps contact area to prevent slipping
- Ergonomic Xcision Handle:
- Features a distinct skeletal handle geometry with smooth circular openings. This reduces overall metal mass, creating an exceptionally lightweight tool
- Teflon Hinge Joint Disc:
- Equipped with an integrated, wear-resistant Teflon or plastic disc inside the primary pivot joint. This element eliminates metal-on-metal friction during opening and closing
- German Stainless Steel Forging:
- Manufactured from high-density, surgical-grade German stainless steel to ensure zero structural bowing under maximum leverage
Benefits
- Atraumatic Extractions:
- Deep socket engagement shifts the mechanical load from the crown down to the root structure, drastically reducing the risk of fracturing brittle teeth during delivery
- Reduced Hand and Wrist Fatigue:
- The lightweight handle design improves balance and tactile feedback, preventing hand strain during rigid, stubborn extractions
- Seamless, Efficient Cleaning:
- The smooth circular punch-outs in the handles prevent blood and tissue debris from trapping, allowing for faster scrubbing and simpler ultrasonic processing
- Smooth Joint Performance:
- The inner Teflon hinge disc stops the joint from seizing up or tightening over time, preserving a fluid, smooth operational feel through years of heavy recycling
- Uncompromised Sterilization Life:
- Forged steel easily handles harsh hospital autoclaving protocols without experiencing micro-pitting or premature rusting
